List of FIFA World Cup final goalscorers
The following is a list of goalscorers in the FIFA World Cup finals. Only goals scored during regulation or extra time are included. Any goals scored during the penalty shoot-out are excluded. As of the 2018 final, sixty-two individuals have scored the total of seventy-seven goals in the all of finals history. Ten players have scored multiple goals in the finals, while half of these players have done so in a single game. Geoff Hurst is the only men's player to score a hat trick in a final. Five players have done so via a penalty kick. Mario Mandžukić was the first player to score an own goal in a final, as well as the first to follow it up with a goal at the opponent's net. He scored the opening and closing goal of the final in 2018. Only two scorers, Pelé and Kylian Mbappé, scored a finals goal as teenagers.[1]
ESPN featured a documentary on the 34 finals goalscorers who were alive before the 2010 final.[2]
